Good conditions to India this evening. My flag was not quite pointing towards India, being at 65 degrees. 90 degrees is what's generally required, so I might be able to peak things up slightly if I reposition the flag.
Worth noting that Saudi Arabia's SBC were playing almost identical flute music to AIR at 1700, so I had to double check some of the loggings to be sure I wasn't receiving Saudi Arabia, but I thought I should log SBC Najran on 747 as I don't see this in the UK All Time Log.

The poor MW conditions continue here, but it's fun chasing those Indian transmitters in the late afternoons. I believe I also received the 20kW AIR Jalgaon transmitter on 963, but the overwhelming co-channel interference was, well, just that, overwhelming!
1570 had several Latin Americans this morning, peaking between 0500 - 0530. No discernible IDs were heard.
I have also been looking for Ethiopia on 972 as this has been reported a few times recently, but it continues to elude me.

A tentative logging of what I presume was the Caribbean Radio Lighthouse on 1160. It wasn't a bad signal, but the splatter from 1161 was enormous. I couldn't even be sure if the OM presenter was English. I thought I would mention this here in case they have upped their power or something. CRL used to be a regular signal back in the 80s, just like the Caribbean Beacon now is on 1610.

This spell of tropo has largely been a flimsy and variable affair, but there were some good peaks into Belgium and Holland today with a few personal firsts. Also today I received several regular German transmitters from Nordrhein Westfalen and Rheinland Pfalz at enhanced levels, but I decided to concentrate on logging only less common and new (to me) stations.
Unidentified:
** Some of the Belgian stations heard at the top of the band today had multiple transmitters on the frequencies, so I decided not to log these stations. Family Radio, Nostalgie, etc., but I was particularly curious about the Nostalgie transmitter on 105.3 and I hope somebody may be able to help me with this: Although Perwez is listed (100 watts), there is also a "PLANNED" outlet at Bouillon, listed with 5kW. I wonder if this is on the air yet - does anybody know?
